211105, General Physics / Tentative Content
Providing Department : Basic Sciences / Mathematics, Faculty of Science
Module Coordinator(s) : Dr. Jamal Muaddi
Level :1
Credit : 3 credit hours
Prerequisite : None
Lecturer : Dr. Jamal Muaddi and Dr. Zuheir El-bayyari
Aims:
This module is offered to students in the faculty of Pharmacology and in the faculty of Nursing. The module
will introduce the student to the basic language and ideas of physics that occur in all branches of science and
technology. The main objective of this introductory course is to provide the students with a clear and logical
presentation of the basic concepts and principles of physics, and to strengthen their understanding through a
broad range of interesting applications to the real world
Teaching Method :
Duration: 16 weeks in second semester, 48 hours in total
Lectures: 45 hours in total, 3 per week (including two 1-hour midterm exams)
Tutorials: 13 in total, 1 per week.
Learning Outcomes:
At the end of this course the student is expected to gain understanding the basic laws that govern few
phenomena in the real life and to apply these laws at the human body. Studying physics as a basic science is
not particularly easy, but we believe it is rewarding, particularly for students planning further training in
related sciences. This will be accomplished by understanding principles of motion of a particle, mechanical
energy, Newton’s Laws of Motion, Circular Motion, Work Energy and Power, Linear and Angular
Momentum, Elastic Properties of Materials,
Heat, Temperature and the Behaviour of Gases,
Thermodynamics, Electric Forces , Fields and Potentials, Direct current, and Mechanics of Non-viscous
Fluids.
Assessment of Learning Outcomes
All learning outcomes are assessed by two tests during the semester, a final examination, and by a variety of
assignments.
Mode of Assessment:
Two 1-hour midterm exams (20 % each); assignments (10 %); Final two hours exam (50%).
